There's a Roman villa just off pic top right, a part brick was found there in the late 80s with the thumb print of the brickmaker.

Not sure that barrow if it is one would be unrecorded, it is inside the WHS and EH aerial photographers are tops (they found another long barrow recently.... Shhhh!).


Objection M'lud, that is not proof that he was the actual brickmaker. He may have been a cat burglar on a hot tin roof stealing a hot brick and when he fell through said roof dropped the brick leaving his print in it. I rest my case :-)

The barrow sounds interesting, any more clues as to its whereabouts?
